Cherry, tobacco, leather, vanilla, some chocolate after a while, strong oak presence. Very enjoyable at first, became muted after a couple hours and then reopened later. Good Rioja, happy to have tried it but I will not be buying it again

Today, better than ever. Raspberry, plum and red currant, plus cigar box and spice. Good concentration, very elegant and polished style. Perfectly balanced. Definitely fruit-dominated. Long and elegant finish. What a great value!

A terrific value. Beautiful Tempranillo nose, raspberry, plum and red currant, plus cigar box and spice. Good concentration, very elegant and polished style. Perfectly balanced. Definitely fruit-dominated, not the typical, overly woodsy Gran Reserva. Long and elegant finish. Now at the beginning of a long drinking window.

This is good stuff, very well-rounded and plump, the fruit is ripe but not overripe, plenty of plums and sort of dusty raspberry, with none of the spicy oaky flavours I anticipated. Tastes like it came from a much cooler climate. Excellent value.

Jammy stewed red fruit. Some anise. Musk
